Dunhill The Aperitif

Dunhill The Aperitif

Dunhill The Aperitif is a medium-strength Scottish-style pipe tobacco blend, crafted for a balanced and refined smoking experience. Introduced in 1951 alongside Early Morning Pipe, it was designed for the more experienced and mature pipe smoker.

Blend Composition

The Aperitif combines:

• Virginia: Adds subtle sweetness and brightness.

• Latakia: Contributes smoky, leathery depth.

• Oriental/Turkish: Provides aromatic, tangy sharpness with dry spices and herbal undertones.

• Cavendish: Offers creamy, mildly sweet foundation.

Smoking Experience

The ribbon cut tobacco is easy to pack and light, burning evenly and cleanly with minimal maintenance. The flavor profile evolves throughout the bowl, starting with a creamy sweetness, transitioning to smoky and spicy notes, and finishing with a slightly spicier finale.

Room Note

The room note is classic and refined, with a smoky richness softened by creamy sweetness, and a complexity that evokes traditional tobacco aromas.

Availability

Dunhill The Aperitif has been discontinued and replaced by Charatan – Four Leaf.

Final Thoughts

Dunhill The Aperitif is a masterclass in balance and complexity, appealing to both new and seasoned smokers. Its medium strength and nuanced flavor profile make it a standout choice for fans of Scottish mixtures.
